Re:  Invitation to Community and Not-for-Profit Organizations to the 
Telecommunications 2000 taskforce - Service Provider Presentations

========================================================================

     On November 4, 1993, the first meeting of the Telecommunications 
2000 Taskforce, was convened at City Hall.  This Taskforce, which 
was called by Mayor Richard M. Daley, was charged with the responsbility 
to prepare the City to be a full participant in the National Information 
Infrastructure  Initiative of the Clinton Administration - more commonly 
referred to as the Information Superhighway.

    Shortly after the initial meeting, the Taskforce became an 
Intergovernmental Taskforce including representatives of County 
Government Agencies, the State of Illinois and the Federal Government.  
It was also agreed that in order to be as effective as possible, the  
Taskforce should arrange for educational presentations by a variety of 
information technology service providers.  additionally, the decision was 
made to make these presentations open, and to invite the attendance of 
non-profit and community-based organizations such as yours.

    The purpose of this letter is to notify you that Wednesday, March 30, 
and Wednesday, April 20, 1994 have been scheduled as the first dates for 
these service provider presentations, and to formally invite your 
organization to these presentations.  The Main Auditorium on the Lower 
Level of the Harold Washington Library Center has been reserved on both 
of these days for presentations to members of the Telecommunications 2000 
Taskforce and other interested persons.

     At this time, I have sent letters of invitation to a variety of 
telecommunications service providers such as the local cable companies, 
MCI, Ameritech, Motorola, Zenith and General Instrument Corporation.  If 
there are other companies to whom you think invitations should be sent, 
please do not hesitate to contact me with that information.

    As currently planned, March 30 is a full-day session from 9 a.m. to 5 
p.m., and April 20 an afternoon session from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.. I 
anticipate two presentations during the morning on March 30, and two or 
three afternoon presentations on both dates.  There will be a break for 
lunch on March 30, however nothing formal is planned and you should make 
your own arrangements in that regard.

    I believe these will prove to be both interesting and informative for 
the Telecommunications 2000 Taskfroce, and I look forward to seeing you 
on March 30 and April 20. Please contact my office to confirm your 
attendance.
